70 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
71 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned

74 make-buffered-input-port.
76 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

128 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.

164 `current-error-port'.
166 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
168 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
171 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

185 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
186 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
188 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,

211 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
212 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
213 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
214 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
215 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
216 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
217 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
219 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
221 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only

226 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
229 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
231 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
234 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
236 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
238 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
240 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
241 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
242 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
243 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
244 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

250 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
251 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
252 make-shared-substring.
254 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
256 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
257 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
258 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
259 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
262 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
264 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
265 and open-output-pipe.
267 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
269 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
270 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
271 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
272 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
273 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
274 Pirotte for the bug report).
275 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
276 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
278 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
280 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
281 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

290 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
293 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
295 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
298 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
300 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
301 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
302 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
304 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
305 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
306 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
307 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
308 actual documentation entries themselves.
310 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
312 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
314 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

332 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

336 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

340 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
342 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
343 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never

347 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
350 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

370 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
373 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
375 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
376 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
377 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
378 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
379 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
381 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
383 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
385 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
386 provided by libguile/modules.c.)

403 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
404 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)

447 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber

477 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
479 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
480 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
482 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
484 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

519 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
521 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
524 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
525 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
526 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
527 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
528 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
529 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
530 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
533 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
535 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

546 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
547 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
548 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
549 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
550 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
551 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
552 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
554 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
556 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
557 accept complex numbers as parameter.

569 instead of remove-if when iterating.
570 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
571 delete-if! when iterating.

579 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
581 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
583 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
584 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
585 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
586 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
588 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
590 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
591 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
593 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
595 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
596 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
597 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
598 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
600 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
602 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
603 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
605 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
607 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
608 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
610 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
612 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
615 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
617 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
618 source of the numerous very short changes.
620 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
622 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
625 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
628 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
630 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
633 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
635 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
636 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
638 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
640 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
643 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
645 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
646 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
647 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
649 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
651 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
652 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
653 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
654 Narazaki for this change.
656 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
658 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
659 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
662 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
663 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
665 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
667 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
668 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
670 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
672 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
673 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
674 use define-public to export from the module.
676 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
678 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
679 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
680 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
682 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
684 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
686 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
688 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
689 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
691 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
693 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
695 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
697 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
699 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
701 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
702 long_long uniform vectors.
704 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
706 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
707 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
709 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
711 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
712 script to create generated files like this one.
714 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
716 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
717 available before using getpw and getuid.
718 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
719 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
721 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
722 check for .guile, instead of stat.
723 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
725 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
726 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
727 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
729 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
730 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
732 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
734 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
736 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
739 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
740 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
742 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
744 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
746 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
747 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
748 ("position"): New command.
749 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
750 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
751 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
752 to return a valid state.)
753 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
755 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
757 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
758 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
761 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
763 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
764 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
766 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
768 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
770 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
772 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
773 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
775 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
776 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
777 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
779 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
782 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
784 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
785 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
787 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
789 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
791 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
792 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
793 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
794 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
796 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
799 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
800 both forward and backward views of the stack
801 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
802 Use selector `frame-number';
803 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
804 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
806 Use readline conditionally.
808 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
810 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
811 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
812 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
814 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
815 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
818 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
820 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
822 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
824 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
826 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
828 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
830 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
831 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
832 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
833 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
834 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
835 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
836 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
837 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
838 libguile-config-stamp.
839 * version.scm.in: Delete.
840 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
841 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
842 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
843 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
845 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
847 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
848 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
849 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
851 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
852 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
853 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
854 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
857 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
859 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
861 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
863 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
865 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
866 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
868 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
870 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
871 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
872 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
873 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
874 objects starting with '#/'.
876 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
878 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
879 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
880 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
881 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
882 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
883 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
885 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
886 module-modified): New procedures.
887 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
888 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
890 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
892 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
895 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
897 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
898 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
899 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
901 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
904 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
906 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
907 at multiple calls to read.
908 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
909 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
910 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
911 continued-lines prompt.
913 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
916 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
918 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
919 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
921 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
923 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
924 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
927 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
929 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
930 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
932 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
933 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
934 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
935 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
936 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
939 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
941 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
942 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
944 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
946 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
947 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
948 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
949 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
951 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
953 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
955 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
956 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
957 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
960 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
962 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
963 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
964 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
965 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
966 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
967 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
968 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
969 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
970 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
971 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
972 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
974 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
976 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
977 peeked from the stream.
978 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
979 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
980 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
982 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
984 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
985 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
987 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
989 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
990 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
991 exiting repl with single control-D.
993 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
995 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
996 error catching loop after quit received.
997 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
999 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1000 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1001 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1003 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1004 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1006 * popen.scm: new file.
1008 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1010 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1011 (reverse-iota): removed.
1013 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1015 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1016 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1018 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1020 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1021 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1022 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1023 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1024 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1026 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1028 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1030 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1031 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1033 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1034 Guile's module system.
1036 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1038 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1039 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1040 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1041 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1042 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1043 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1045 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1046 '() when the condition is false.
1048 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1050 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1052 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1054 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1056 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1058 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1059 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1060 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1062 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1064 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1065 argument order for hash-fold.
1067 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1069 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1071 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1072 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1074 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1075 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1076 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1077 has been added to the load path).
1079 Use try-load-module.
1081 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1084 module between system and user state.
1086 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1088 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1090 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1093 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1095 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1096 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1097 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1099 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1101 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1102 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1103 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1104 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1105 stack frame encountered.
1107 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1108 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1109 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1110 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1113 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1114 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1115 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1116 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1119 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1120 define-module switches:
1122 (define-module (foo)
1125 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1128 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1129 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1130 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1131 module it is a system frame.
1133 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1134 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1135 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1136 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1137 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1139 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1140 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1141 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1142 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1143 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1144 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1146 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1147 status of a module.;
1148 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1149 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1151 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1152 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1153 closure to the module.
1155 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1157 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1159 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1161 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1163 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1165 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1167 Fix from Russ McManus:
1168 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1169 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1170 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1171 either an optional or required value.
1173 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1175 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1177 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1178 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1180 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1181 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1182 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1183 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1185 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1187 * optargs.scm: New file.
1188 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1189 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1191 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1193 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1194 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1195 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1197 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1199 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1200 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1203 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1205 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1207 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1209 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1210 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1211 applied to the module itself.
1213 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1215 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1217 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1218 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1220 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1222 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1224 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1226 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1228 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1230 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1231 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1233 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1235 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1236 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1237 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1238 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1239 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1240 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1241 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1243 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1245 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1246 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1248 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1250 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1251 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1254 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1256 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1258 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1260 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1262 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1264 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1265 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1266 adapt to the new hooks.
1268 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1270 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1271 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1272 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1274 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1275 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1277 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1278 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1279 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1280 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1281 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1282 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1283 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1284 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1285 first to register linked modules.
1287 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1288 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1289 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1291 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1292 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1293 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1294 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1296 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1298 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1301 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1302 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1303 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1305 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1307 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1308 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1309 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1311 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1313 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1314 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1315 result of the last form.
1317 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1319 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1322 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1324 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1325 readline-set!: New options interface.
1327 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1329 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1331 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1332 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1334 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1336 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1337 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1339 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1341 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1342 interactive session.
1343 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1345 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1346 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1348 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1350 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1352 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1354 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1355 read line was empty.
1357 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1359 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1360 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1362 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1364 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1366 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1367 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1368 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1370 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1371 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1373 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1374 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1375 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1377 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1378 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1379 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1380 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1381 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1382 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1384 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1386 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1387 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1389 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1391 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1392 and short vectors #h(...).
1394 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1396 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1397 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1398 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1400 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1402 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1403 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1404 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1406 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1408 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1409 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1411 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1412 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1413 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1414 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1416 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1418 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1421 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1422 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1423 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1424 context with traps enabled.
1426 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1428 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1430 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1432 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1434 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1435 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1436 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1437 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1438 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1440 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1442 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1443 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1445 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1447 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1449 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1451 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1453 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1455 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1457 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1459 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1460 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1462 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1464 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1465 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1466 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1467 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1470 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1471 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1472 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1474 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1476 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1477 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1478 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1479 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1480 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1481 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1482 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1484 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1486 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1488 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1490 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1491 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1492 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1493 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1494 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1495 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1497 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1499 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1500 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1501 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1504 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1506 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1508 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1510 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1512 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1514 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1517 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1519 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1521 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1523 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1524 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1526 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1528 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1529 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1530 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1531 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1533 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1534 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1536 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1538 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1540 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1542 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1543 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1546 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1547 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1549 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1550 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1551 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1553 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1555 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1557 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1559 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1560 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1562 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1564 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1566 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1568 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1569 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1571 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1573 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1576 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1578 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1579 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1581 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1583 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1585 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1587 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1590 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1592 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1593 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1594 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1595 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1596 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1599 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1601 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1602 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1603 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1605 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1607 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1609 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1610 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1612 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1614 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1615 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1616 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1617 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1618 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1619 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1620 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1623 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1625 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1628 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1630 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1631 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1632 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1633 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1634 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1635 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1637 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1639 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1640 usefully so they will work from a script.
1642 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1644 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1645 neighborhood of the record code.
1647 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1649 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1650 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1651 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1652 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1654 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1656 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1657 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1658 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1660 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1662 Add support for readline function.
1663 * readline.scm: New module.
1664 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1665 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1666 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1668 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1669 repl-reader to use them.
1670 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1672 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).

1688 #f, abort terminates the process.
1689 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1690 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1692 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1712 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1714 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1716 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1718 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1719 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1720 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1721 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1722 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1724 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1734 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1735 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1736 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1738 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1739 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1742 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1744 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1746 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1748 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1750 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1751 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1752 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1753 field a separate argument.
1755 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1757 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1759 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1761 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1774 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1775 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1776 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1778 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1779 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1780 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1781 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1782 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1796 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1798 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1799 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1800 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1801 expansion inside the slib module.
1803 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1805 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1815 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1817 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1818 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1821 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1823 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1824 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1826 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1828 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1829 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1841 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1843 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1844 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1845 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1846 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1847 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1849 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1850 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1851 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1853 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1854 the syncase interface.
1856 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1858 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1859 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1860 workings of the current module system).
1862 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1864 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1865 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1874 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1876 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1877 according to the following priorities:
1878 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1879 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1881 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1882 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1883 (new-interpreter): New function.
1885 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1886 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1887 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1889 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1891 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1893 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1895 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1903 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1905 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1906 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1911 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1912 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1917 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1920 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1922 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1923 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1924 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1926 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1927 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1929 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1931 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1932 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1934 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1935 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1937 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1939 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1941 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1942 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1943 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1961 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1963 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1964 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1965 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1967 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1968 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1971 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1972 order to narrow it correctly.
1973 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1987 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1989 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1991 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1992 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1993 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1995 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1997 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2000 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2002 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2027 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2028 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2029 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2030 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2031 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2032 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2034 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2035 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2036 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2037 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2039 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2041 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2042 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2043 sending in bug reports.
2044 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2045 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2046 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2047 display a warning if the two are different.
2048 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2049 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2050 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2056 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2058 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2059 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2061 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2062 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2063 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2064 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2065 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2066 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2069 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2070 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2073 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2074 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2076 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2079 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2082 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2084 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2087 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2089 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2090 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2092 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2094 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2095 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2096 to support printing of structures.
2097 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2098 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2099 commented out printing code.
2100 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2101 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2112 during call to scm-style-repl.
2114 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2116 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2117 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2118 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2119 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2120 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2122 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2124 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2125 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2128 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2130 * regex.scm: New file.
2131 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2132 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2137 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2138 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2139 threads.scm: New address for FSF.

2146 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2148 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2149 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2150 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2152 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2154 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2155 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2158 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2160 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2162 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2164 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2166 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2168 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2169 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2172 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2174 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2175 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2176 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2178 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2180 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2181 the Scheme code like code yet.
2182 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2184 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2186 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2187 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2188 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2190 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2192 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2194 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2197 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2199 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2201 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2203 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2205 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2206 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2207 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2209 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2211 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2212 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2213 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2215 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2217 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2218 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2220 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2222 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2225 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2227 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2229 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2231 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2232 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2234 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2236 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2237 instead of in libguile.
2238 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2239 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2241 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2243 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2245 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2246 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2248 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2250 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2251 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2253 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2255 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2256 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2257 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2258 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2260 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2262 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2263 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2265 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2267 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2269 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2271 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2272 keywords and symbols.
2274 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2276 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2278 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2279 Don't define read-sharp.
2281 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2282 (read-sharp): removed.
2283 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2284 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2286 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2288 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2290 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2291 primitive procedure.)
2293 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2294 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2296 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2298 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2300 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2304 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2306 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2308 * (exit): alias for quit.
2310 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2312 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2313 return the quit args.
2314 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2315 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2316 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2318 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2320 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2322 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2324 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2325 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2327 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2328 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2330 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2331 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2334 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2336 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2338 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2339 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2340 Change hooks to use these functions.
2342 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2343 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2344 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2346 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2347 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2348 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2349 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2350 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2351 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2352 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2355 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2356 and exit-frame exceptions.
2358 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2359 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2360 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2361 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2362 result; otherwise display "> ".
2363 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2365 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2366 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2367 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2368 repository version runnable.
2370 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2372 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2373 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2374 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2375 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2376 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2377 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2379 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2381 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2382 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2384 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2386 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2387 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2389 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2391 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2393 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2395 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2398 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2400 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2401 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2403 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2405 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2408 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2410 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2411 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2413 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2415 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2417 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2418 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2419 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2420 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2421 dynamic linking of modules.
2422 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2423 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2425 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2427 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2429 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2431 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2434 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2435 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2438 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2440 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2441 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2442 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2444 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2446 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2447 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2450 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2452 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2453 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2454 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2456 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2458 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2459 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2460 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2461 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2463 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2464 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2465 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2466 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2467 (such as the-scm-module).
2469 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2471 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2474 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2476 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2477 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2478 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2480 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2482 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2483 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2484 function, use it accordingly.
2486 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2488 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2489 function of no arguments.
2490 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2491 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2492 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2493 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2494 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2495 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2496 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2497 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2499 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2501 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2502 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2504 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2506 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2507 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2508 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2509 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2510 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2512 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2515 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2516 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2517 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2518 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2520 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2522 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2524 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2525 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2526 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2528 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2531 Added `before-read-hook'.
2533 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2535 (provide): New function.
2537 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2540 (backtrace): New function.
2542 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2543 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2544 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2545 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2546 is found in operator position in a frame.
2548 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2551 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2552 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2553 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2555 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2557 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2559 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2561 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2563 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2565 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2567 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2568 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2570 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2571 so they'll get distributed.
2573 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2574 should see as little clutter as possible.
2575 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2576 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2577 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2579 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2580 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2581 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2582 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2583 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2584 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2585 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2586 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2587 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2588 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2590 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2591 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2593 * test.scm: New file.
2595 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2596 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2597 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2599 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2600 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2602 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2604 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2605 call %load-announce.
2607 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2609 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2610 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2611 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2613 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2615 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2617 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2618 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2619 SCSH (which this isn't).
2621 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2623 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2625 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2627 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2628 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2629 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2631 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2632 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2633 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2634 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2637 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2639 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2641 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2643 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2644 error-catching-loop.
2645 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2646 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2647 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2649 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2650 error-catching-loop.
2652 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2654 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2655 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2656 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2657 should be '(), not #f.
2659 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2660 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2662 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2664 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2665 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2668 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2670 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2671 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2672 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2673 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2675 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2677 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2679 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2681 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2683 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2684 throw-handler-default.
2685 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2687 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2689 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2690 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2692 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2694 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2695 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2696 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2697 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2699 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2701 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2702 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2703 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2704 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2706 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2707 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2708 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2709 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2712 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2714 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2716 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2719 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2722 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2724 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2726 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2727 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2729 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2731 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2733 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2735 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2737 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2738 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2739 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2740 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2741 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2743 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2744 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2745 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2746 they seem redundant.
2747 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2748 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2749 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2750 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2751 directly files starting with "/").
2752 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2753 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2755 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2757 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2759 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2760 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2761 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2762 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2763 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2764 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2765 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2766 robust to just do it in the C code.
2768 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2770 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2771 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2772 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2773 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2774 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2776 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2778 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2779 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2780 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2782 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2784 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2785 system-error, not every kind of error.
2786 (scm-error): new procedure.
2788 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2790 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2792 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2794 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2795 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2796 of args are supplied.
2797 (%%system-errors): removed.
2798 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2799 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2800 %%handle-system-error.
2801 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2802 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2803 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2804 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2806 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2808 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2809 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2810 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2811 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2813 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2815 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2816 the empty list if they are #f.
2817 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2819 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2821 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2823 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2824 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2825 aborting, just the key and subr.
2826 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2827 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2828 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2830 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2832 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2833 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2834 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2835 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2836 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2838 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2840 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2841 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2842 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2843 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2845 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2847 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2848 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2849 initialize %load-path.
2851 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2852 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2854 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2856 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2857 Add the directory named after the version number.
2858 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2859 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2860 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2861 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2862 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2863 (install): Create the above directories.
2864 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2865 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2867 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2869 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2870 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2871 in the Makefile directly.
2872 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2874 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2876 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2877 here, where people expect to find them.
2879 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2881 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2882 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2884 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2886 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2888 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2889 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2891 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2893 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2894 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2896 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2897 weak-key-hash-table.
2899 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2901 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2902 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2903 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2904 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2905 (%open-file): removed.
2906 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2907 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2909 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2911 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2912 (manifest): Deleted.
2913 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2914 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2916 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2918 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2919 now that they throw errors directly.
2920 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2921 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2923 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2925 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2927 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2929 * The more things change...
